Netflix continues to be one of the most acclaimed apps for Android users. While this app took a while to be released, everyone rejoiced upon finding out that it would finally come to the Android platform. The joy didn’t last too long for most, though, since the Netflix app only supported a few devices at launch.

While the supported device list kept slowly growing and more users were able to enjoy streaming their movies, it still covered only a small percentage of all Android users. People restored to manually installing the .apk file. This method worked for the most of us, but it was still a little bothersome at times. This process is no longer necessary, as Netflix has just updated its app in the Android Market. This service now supports all Android devices with Android verison 2.2 (Froyo) and 2.3 (Gingerbread).

This definitely comes as great news. Android 2.2/2.3 covers over 80% of all Android users (according to last month’s distribution report), and most of us are now be able to get it officially.

If you haven’t yet, head to the Android Market and download Netflix on your device! All you should need is Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 (in supported countries). Now we just have to wait for official tablet support, since most tablet users still have to install the app unofficially.

Hello, I am Edgar Cervantes. I am an avid Android fan, and keeping myself updated on the topic is part of my daily life. I will always work hard to give the best of me to our community of Android enthusiasts, and I am very honored to be part of this ship. Hopefully we can all enjoy sharing our knowledge and opinions!

I’m sorry but this needs to be said. If you love the site so much why are you giving them grief over labeling their articles? It took you roughly 10 seconds to click on the article and find out that it wasn’t meant for you. The writer invested much more time into creating the article so why not just move on? It has nothing to do with a limited world view (It’s a united states site) it’s about you being a baby and wanting your dinner made to exact specifications when you aren’t even paying for it.

Nope I’m with ya 100%. I get annoyed even watching on laptop (course, I’m usually working & watching which isn’t productive for either one…), I see absolutely no point in netflix on phone. Maybe, maybe on a tablet.

Installs on LG G2x, but won’t run at all. Almost as soon as you click the icon the app shuts down. I’m running the official version of Gingerbread. Tried restarting the phone after install, but it didn’t help.

It sucks that “all” apparently means every 2.2 or 2.3 phone that isnt the G2X. Its not as if the phone isnt capable, heck is one of the more powerful phones out right now. Hopefully netflix remedies their app to get it working on the G2X, or they can expect round after round of G2X users clogging their marketplace reviews with one stars.
